| # Customizing a Color Scheme | ||
|
|
||
| The Dashboard Designer allows you to edit colors and styles in [global and local color schemes](coloring-concepts.md). You can select a color or style from a dashboard palette or specify a custom color or style. | ||
| * [Invoke a Color Scheme Dialog](#invoke-a-color-scheme-dialog) | ||
| * [Edit Colors](#edit-colors) | ||
| * [Add a New Value](#add-a-new-value) | ||
| * [Add a New Color Table](#add-a-new-color-table) | ||
|
|
||
| ## Invoke a Color Scheme Dialog | ||
| To edit colors and styles, use the **Color Scheme** dialog. You can open this dialog in the following ways: | ||
|
|
||
| * To edit colors and styles in a global color scheme, use the **Edit Colors** button in the **Home** ribbon tab or the **Edit Colors** button in the dashboard item's **Design** tab. | ||
|
|
||
|   | ||
| * To edit colors and styles in a local color scheme, use the **Edit Colors** button in the contextual **Design** ribbon tab. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Consider a Chart dashboard item where dimensions and measures are colored by hue with local colors. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| For this dashboard item, the **Color Scheme** dialog will contain combinations of all dimension values and a specific measure. | ||

There was a problem hiding this comment. what do you mean by "and a specific measure"? |
||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| In this dialog, you can perform the following actions. | ||
| * [Edit automatically assigned colors and styles](#edit-colors) or specify new colors and styles. | ||
| * [Add new values](#add-a-new-value) to a color table. | ||
| * [Add new color tables](#add-a-new-color-table) that contain values whose colors and styles are not yet assigned. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Edit Colors | ||
| You can customize automatically assigned colors and styles in several ways. | ||
| * To retain the automatically assigned color for the selected value, right-click the required value in the **Value** column and select **Retain this color**. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| This reserves the current palette color for the selected value. | ||
| * You can click the required cell in the **Color** column to select another palette color. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
| * To specify a custom color, click **More Colors...** and use the RGB or HSB color model in the invoked **Select Color** dialog to choose any color. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| * To specify a fill style, click the required cell in the **Fill Style** column and select the required hatch style from the drop-down list. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| * To specify a line style, click the cell in the **Line Style** column and select the line style from the drop-down list. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| Use the **Reset**/**Reset all** menu items to reset the customized colors. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| ## Add a New Value | ||
| The **Color Scheme** dialog allows you to add a new value with the specified color to the selected color table. To do this, click the **New Value...** button. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| In the invoked **New Value** dialog, specify the dimension values, add the required measures and click **OK**. This creates a new value whose color can be specified as described in [Edit Colors](#edit-colors). | ||
|
|
||
| You can remove manually added values using the **Remove** context menu item. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| ## Add a New Color Table | ||
|
|
||
| The **Color Scheme** dialog also allows you to add a new color table containing values whose colors are not yet assigned. To do this, click the **New Color Table...** button. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| In the invoked dialog, specify the data source, add the required dimensions and enable the **'MeasureNames' Dimension** check-box if you need to add measures to a color table. | ||

| # Coloring | ||
|
|
||
| The Chart dashboard item paints different measures and series dimensions by [hue](../../appearance-customization/coloring/coloring-concepts.md) in **Default** color mode. The image below shows the chart item where _State_ series dimension values are painted in different colors. A special icon () on the data item shows that color variation is enabled. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| For each color, you can also specify fill and line styles to distinguish data series without relying on color: | ||
|
|
||
| * **Line Styles** | ||
| Use line styles for Chart dashboard items with line series. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| * **Fill Styles** | ||
| Use a solid or hatch fill style for Chart dashboard items with bar and bubble series. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| > [!NOTE] | ||
| > The Chart dashboard item does not support color variation for the [financial](series/financial-series.md) series. | ||
